Verify Chain

VENDOR CASE STUDY

VerifyChain combines ID document checks, selfie face match, liveness detection and fallback facial age estimation. Stores only blockchain transaction logs, no personally identifiable information, privacy-preserving, no reuse of data.

Strengths

• No persistent storage of biometric or ID data.
• Promotes user sovereignty by separating identity from verification using decentralised architecture.
• Built-in spoofing and injection attack detection, including biometric liveness verification.

Summary of Results

VerifyChain is a promising, privacy-centric AV platform still maturing in real-world deployment. It demonstrated resilience to spoofing and strong data protection, but its interoperability and user onboarding experience need improvement. It provides strong technical foundations for future growth in regulated or privacy-sensitive digital environments.

Privacy Policy

In addition to the structured Practice Statements, the Trial also reviewed publicly available Privacy Policies for all participating providers. This formed a key part of the Trial’s ethical due diligence and helped assess how well declared practices aligned with actual documentation and observed system behaviour.

Practice Statement

Practice Statements are formal documents submitted by participating providers, outlining how their systems function and how they claim to meet specific expectations under international and domestic standards. They offer providers an opportunity to articulate their system’s design in their own words — similar to a ‘statement of practice’ or ‘system disclosure’ used in certification and compliance contexts.

Interview

As part of the Trial’s commitment to transparency and accuracy, the team prepared a written summary of each vendor interview, capturing key points regarding system design, functionality and implementation claims. These summaries were shared with participants for review, allowing them to check, verify and suggest corrections where necessary.

Test Report

Individual Vendor Test Reports were developed for each participating provider. These reports formally document the results of the functional, usability and security evaluations carried out during the Trial and are intended to support public understanding, regulatory scrutiny and future conformity assessment or certification processes.
